f^^^^^ • 1904-05. 

With this issue of our catalogue we announce the change from our 
former firm name — The Nelson-Phelps Co. — to W. H. Phelps & Co., and 
that we shall continue to serve our many friends with the same excellent class 
of goods, fair treatment and promptness which has characterized this well 
known house. 

We believe that we have just cause for the feeling of pride and satisfac- 
tion that is ours; pride because of the distinctive reputation we have won 
among college folk of making the best and most, attractive line of Pennants, 
Flags, Banners, Cushions, Etc., Etc., on the market; and satisfaction by 
reason of the immense growth in our business which has been the reward of 
our efforts. 

We have given no mean amount of thought and labor to make this 
Catalog and Price List cover the ground completely in a most condensed as 
well as comprehensive form. Heretofore we have illustrated our goods by 
colored plates, but, owing to the difficulty in procuring true tints, the repre- 
sentations were often misleading, hence we have discontinued their usage. 
The illustrations presented herewith are reproduced from photographs of the 
original articles and are therefore correct in every detail. 

To a great many people there is little or no difference in the quality of a 
pennant, banner, cushion or whatever the article may be. To this class there 
seems to be but one thought — the size, how large an article they can get for 
their money. They apparently have the idea that the work is entirely 
mechanical; that some sort of machine does the whole business, and that to 
decrease the cost it is but necessary tO«tilrn on more power. However, we 
feel there are enough people who appf^crate the quality of material used, the 
artistic results a first-class designer produces, and the perfect workmanship 
effected by the employment of the most skilled labor to justify the effort we 
are making and it is to this latter class that we address ourselves.

COLLEGER FRATERNITY PENNANTS 



FELT PENNANTS 

While our efforts are equall\^ divided among the various articles which 
we produce, yet we take particular pride in our Felt Pennants for the more 
prominent reason that they are the original and were for a long time the only 
article which we manufactured. They have well merited the distinction of 
being the foundation of our success. 

In the production of Felt Pennants we employ only the best of materials 
and the most skilled workers. Our feltings are direct from the leading mills 
of this country and are of the highest quality procurable, embodying a beau- 
tiful lustre finish and perfect colors, many of the shades being dyed especially 
for us. The ribbons are best grade satin and gros grain, pure silk throughout 
and parallel with the feltings as regards color. The entire Pennants are 
stitched with all silk thread. In short we have included in the making of 
our goods only the best of everything from the most important to the most 
insignificant details. 

We do not claim to make a grade of goods which others may not, but 
we do maintain that we are offering the very best and most artistic pennants 
which can be produced, and at moderate prices. 

The illustrations appearing herein are reproduced from photographs taken 
from the original articles. The numbers significant of the various styles 
represent the shape and design of the Pennant proper and the style of lettering 
or emblem, and in no instance do they relate to the lettering. Any lettering 
desired may be placed on any of the numerous styles, and in any combination 
of colors wanted. 

When ordering be careful to write your name and address plainly and 
give explicit instructions. State number wanted, lettering to go on same 
(printing letters schoolboy fashion thus: YALE), style, size, colors and all 
information necessary for us to produce precisely what you want. We carry 
an immense stock on hands from which we can usually fill j'our order to the 
smallest detail, but in event that we do not have just what you want in stock, 
we gladly make it up especially for you and never substitute. 

We are familiar with the correct shades of all the leading Colleges and 
National Fraternities, but request our customers to attach samples of colors 
when ordering Flags for local Fraternities, Sororities, Societies and Classes. 
It must be remembered that there are many shades of the various colors and 
we will be pleased to match ^our colors perfectly if you will send sample 
clippings and thus assist us in making you a correct flag.

FELT PENNANTS 




PRINCE* 



101 

The Pennants listed below, illustrations of which appear on this and the 
page opposite, are styles most generally adopted by Colleges and Schools but 
by no means exclusively, as they are frequently preferred for Fraternity and 
Society Pennants. 

This shape, triangular, is technically termed "pennant," from which is 
derived the name applied to College and Fraternity flags in a general way. 
They are made in two proportions, namely 1x2 and 1x3, from which we vary 
in a few sizes to facilitate economy in cutting. 

Made in any combination of colors and any lettering desired.

Pennants measuring ten inches or under in width at heading have two 
sets of double ribbon streamers for tying to staff and sizes twelve inches or 
over at heading have three sets of double ribbon streamers. We can make 
sizes 30x60 inches and larger more serviceable by substituting for the ribbon 
a strong canvas heading set with brass grommets, or eyelets, when so ordered. 
Unless the canvas heading is specified in your order the pennants will be 
made regular with ribbon streamers.

FELT PENNANTS-Continued 




301 



A variety of names have been applied to this shape Pennant, correctly 
called Burgee, by both makers and customers which has made misunderstand- 
ings not infrequent. Our feature of placing all shapes under the one name 
of Pennnats and giving a style number to each of our many designs elimi- 
nates any possible error in ordering. 

Styles number 301 to 341, inclusive, are made in the more popular pro- 
portions of 3x6x1, and also 3x9x1, the latter making a graceful effect when 
extremely long names are necessary. 

Styles 301, 306, 311, 316, 321, 326, 331, 336 and 341.

FELT PENNANTS-Continued 

The rectangular flag has become quite popular for numerous purposes, 
most prominent among which is its general adoption for Official Fraternity 
Flags. It is also well adopted for Chapter flags, accommodating letteting 
representative of both Fraternity and Chapter in a variety of pleasing and 
well balanced arrangements. 

These flags are fitted regularly with three sets of double ribbon stream- 
ers. In the larger sizes we can substitute for the ribbon a strong canvas 
heading set with brass grommets, or eyelets, when so ordered. 

These flags are made up in the standard proportions 2x3.
